The weather has been unfayorah,e for

the weather was reported .as favorable for
this crop. Excessive heat and tho abaence
OF RAIN throughout the corn belt has nj.

McGarfele May Haye to Return,

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Now that the con-
yicted' boodler, MeGsrigle, has safely
reached Canadian shores, speculation has
turned to the question of how, if at all,
his return may be brought about. His
extradition on the charge on which be
was convicted, is, OF course, out Of the
question. 1t has been suggested, how
ever, that out Of some of his .'crooked'
work on various county bills q case of
forgery might be made. This would
bring the matter under the provisions of
the treaty. '5'l < .,'.i.' e. 800 :
1t may turn out upon investigation that
there is more involved in Garigle's sup-
posed escape by the schooner Blake than
q mere question OF the extradition treaty.
The Blake was owned in part by Cana
dian and in part by An American citizen.
The schooner itsslf was plying between
two friendly countries and it is stated that
the Sheriff has asked Governor Oglesby
to communicate with the authorities at
Washington and see il they will not take
some action toward securing the return of
the escaped convict. III

Ms, Henry GEORGE points to the miser.

Mr., Henry GEORGE points to the miser-
ahle creatures who exist in the tenement
houses Of New York, and uses their plight
az confirmation OF his land theory. AS
Mr.. George is a residens OF New York, 1t
Was not necessary Tor him to come all the
way to Wheeling to be BIO told that some
thing othsr than private ownership Of
land is responsible for the fact that 80
usny thousands are huddled in the foul
tenemeuts Of New York in preference to
syailing themselves OF the land which the
Government offers TO them free.
One oil the difficulties Of the tenement
house problem is, that the poor creatures
who inhabit those pest holes cannot be
induced 10 leaye them. l! is as sad as it
is true that there is fascination about
that kind OF existence which, once enter
ed upon, seems impossible TO break away
from. This stumbling block has stood in
the way Of all schemes Of philanthropy to
better the condition OF jewellers in tene-
ment houses. II to irea land were added
free transportation, the otter would have
small attraction for the tenement house

PlTTsBuRsH, July STA disastrous fire
occurred on the South Side this morning
by which the glass manufacturing firms
Of S. McKees 4 Co. and King, Son & Co.
sustained heavy losaea. The fire started
in the packing house Of Kings factory,
and quickly spread to the machine shops
and mold rooms destroying them all. It
then communicated to the offices Of S,
McKees & Co., on the opposite side Of the
street, and in a short time had en-
tirely consumed them, together with
the company's extensive warehouse,
which was full Of new and
valuable stock. The fire was discoy-
cred in the packing house, and is sup
posed to have originated from the sparks
Of a passing locomotive. During the pro-
gress Of the conaagration, tiremen John
Gillespie and John Benning we're caught
under falling walls, and the latter was
quito seriously injured. The total loss is
estimated at Sl5O 900. of which McKees &
Go. loses 100000 and King, Son 4 Co.
$50, 900. The insurance was about $75, 900.

We understand that Mr.. Sully did not
pay anything for his option, but that be-
fore Mr.. Garrett would commit himself to
